Zeng Chuanxing was born in Longchang County, Sichuan
Province, in 1974. He majored in oil painting at the Central
University for Nationalities from 1995 to 1998. His realist
paintings depict young, beautiful girls and women reflect a
return to classicism and a subtle, yet poignant commentary
to modern day China.
While the majority of his artist contemporaries have
explored and implemented more contemporary modes of
expression, Zeng turn to a traditional way to express his
modern ideas. The classical skills not only clearly convey
his own feelings, but, almost more importantly, to serve as
a window to understanding other people’s feelings,
thoughts and emotions. About his ongoing series of Paper
Bride, Zeng was enlightened by one of his “successful in
business but unlucky in love” female friend. Zeng
comments on the fragility and uncertainty of marriage. In
old times, Chinese marriage was strictly assigned. The
possibility of divorce was none and even the thought of
end a relationship was considered criminal. Marriage was
like a gambling, you never know what you are going to get.
As social progressing, women are free to choose and
change their spouse, but still vulnerable in marriage.
Zeng’s quiet and melodic figures, draped in delicate paper
gowns, represent the fragility of this once impenetrable
bond and reflect the often melancholic and insecure state
he sees in the new generation of Chinese women.

can vividly and truly be reflected. He currently teaches painting in the Fine Arts Department at Hunan University of Arts and Sciences. His work has
been extensively exhibited and can be seen at the Beijing Yan-Huant Museum, the Hunan Museum (Changsha) and the Guangdong Art Museum.
